Peace and Pandemonium

I really enjoy taking family portraits.

Wait, let me sit with that for a moment.



Ok, it's true. I really really do!

It is so fun to see the dynamic that each family has with one another.
Every family has so much love for each other but the ways of expression are different in every case.
That is what I love the most.
Discovering the special ways that each family shows love for one another and then aiming to capture it on film.
Well, on sensor. :)

Alisha is my dear friend who is also a photographer. She specializes in large format film photography which is so dang cool if you ask me. This photo shoot provided me my first opportunity to have her whole family together and to meet her very loving husband. It was a joy to watch how he was able to light up both is wife and his son. They all laughed for much of our time together.

The whole family (including the bun in the oven) came together for some of the most beautiful light of the day (which I was obsessed with), on this gorgeous, October morning. I was so glad to have been there to document the love.

Enjoy...
